If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Policy, you must stop using the service, as previously described in this Policy. We can update or modify the terms of this SMS Policy at any time, and such modifications will be effective from the moment we publish the updated SMS Policy at https://aba.pr/politica-de-sms/ (the « Website”).

Conflict resolution

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by calling any of our stores at 1-800-578-8979 or visiting our Web Page at aba.pr. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your concern or respond to a complaint, each party agrees that the resolution of any dispute related to this Policy will undergo a mediation process. If such a dispute cannot be resolved through a mediation process, the parties agree that the resolution of the dispute will be submitted to a binding private arbitration process or in the Court of First Instance in San Juan as explained below.

Binding, bilateral arbitration. Please read this carefully as it affects your rights. YOU AND ABA AGREE THAT ANY CONFLICT, DISPUTE, OR CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS POLICY, AND WHICH CANNOT BE RESOLVED THROUGH A MEDIATION PROCESS, WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL, BINDING AND BILATERAL ARBITRATION. IF A COURT DECLARES THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT INVALID, THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE OF THE COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE IN SAN JUAN. This arbitration agreement must be interpreted broadly, and it expressly includes the claims established under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 USC § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation or fair or legal theory. You and the provider agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC 1, et seq. (“FAA”) applies to this agreement to arbitrate and govern all questions about whether a dispute is subject to Arbitration. Unless you and ABA agree otherwise in writing, arbitration will be administered by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, in effect at the time of filing the arbitration (the “AAA” Rules). Persons in charge of the arbitration must respect the terms and limitations of this agreement, in the same way that a Court would. They may also award compensation for damages (this includes attorney’s fees) as authorized by law and / or the AAA Rules. The arbitration decision is final and binding, with certain exceptions under the FAA, and the judgment can be presented in any court of competent jurisdiction. BY SUBSCRIBING TO OR CONSENTING TO ANY OF THE SMS SERVICES, YOU AND ABA WAIVE THE RIGHT OF TRIAL OF A COURT, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY GROUP, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEDURE, EXCEPT IN THE CASE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS DECLARED INVALID. The request for arbitration must be notified no later than one (1) year after the controversy arises.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ADMIT GROUP ARBITRATIONS EVEN WHEN THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA ADMIT THEM. INSTEAD, YOU AND ABA CAN ONLY START AN INDIVIDUAL AND BILATERAL ARBITRATION. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND ABA AGREE IN WRITING DIFFERENTLY, THE ARBITRATOR (S) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS FROM ONE PARTY TO THE CLAIMS OF ANOTHER PARTY, NOR MAY THEY OTHERWISE PRESIDE ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEDURE.

You and ABA are responsible for the costs each may incur, related to advice, expert guidance, and witnesses, as well as any other costs associated with the arbitration.

IN ADDITION, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING, AMONG OTHERS, THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR FORTIOUS ACTS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE AN ERROR FREE SERVICE. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYS IN THE RECEIPT OF SMS TEXT MESSAGES, SINCE THE SENDING IS SUBJECT TO THE EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FROM YOUR CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER.

Applicable legislation

Any matter or question that arises regarding the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this SMS Policy, or the rights and obligations of ABA and / or the client, in connection with this SMS Policy, will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. If any provision of these Rules or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance is declared invalid, inapplicable or null, said decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the rest of this SMS Policy.
